17% drop rate on Bile Spewers and Patchwork Horros my ass. I just cleared the abominations before Ramstein. On the last mob they all reset and suddenly I was surrounded by a room full of abominations again. No Ramstein, no access to Baron, and worst of all, not one single Frayed Abomination Stitching dropped after perhaps 20 mobs.

I assume this event bugging is a low-priority fix for Blizzard, since hardly anyone runs the old instances anymore. Very frustrating.

These only drop in Stratholme, and are used for old world goodies. The majority of the drops come from the trash right before Baron Rivendare. A common amount of drops would be 3-4 per run.

Another words, this is soulbound junk that you will never use or sell for any money. If you see this item... DON'T TAKE IT! .... leave it on the ground and walk away.... don't waste your bag space for this item!

Not true. For those after Zandalar rep, for the Brilliant Mana Oil or achievements or just for the hell of it, turning in Librams to the elves in Dire Maul, and then turning around the turning those into the Savage Guards, is one of the best (if expensive) ways of solo'ing rep.

Comment by lsfreak

Yes, and the Libram of Protection can THEN be turned in for 200 rep to Zandalar, after getting 500 from Shen'dralar.EDIT: In response to a deleted post saying this goes to Shen'dralar and not Zandalar; I'm not arguing with myself ;)

Comment by Redwod

can we use this to improve the rep ?

Comment by sleku

It's 500 Zandalar rep, actually :)

Comment by Etreum

Ran it twice. It only dropped from Ramstein. Was doing the run for 'The Ultimate Deception'. What a waste of time!

Comment by Dyens

after reseting the abomination packs before baron for a good 30 mins it seems the stitching do not drop after you reset them

Comment by delaneyches

I soloed the last bit of Stratholme and had 6 drop from the bit right before the baron. Not sure what I'm gonna do with them but they'll sit in my bank until I'm sure.

Comment by Trinsick

Actually, these are essential for the grind for The Insane title.

Comment by Trymepunk

I currently have 14 stacks of these, and I've no clue what to do with them. Perhaps at lvl 80, there's not too much I can do but simply delete them.

Comment by yangman

A easy way to farm this；

storm into the slaughter square,kill the abomination until the last one.wait it patroling a cycle,and all will be respawned.

well,seems no longer drop it after the respawn

Comment by arlinesly

I know the posts are old but what does the Librams have to do with the stitching?

Comment by Midnightrose

Maybe it's just a lucky run for me, but it may be that they've boosted the drop rate. When after this before 4.0.1 I would get 0-2 in the slaughterhouse but in the couple of runs I did today I got 4-5. As I'm emptying out the librams I stored up in my guildbank, lets hope this isn't just a fluke!

Comment by Alex1996P

I am experiencing increase in drops of these also. What are these for, if it for rep/ title, where can i turn these in. An comment above says its for an Insane title, what im wanting to get. Any help with this ?

Comment by Delvi

Though still drops as usual, this item serves no purpose after 4.0.3a.

Edit: it was turned to gray vendor trash in patch 4.3.0, prior to that in was uncommon BoP item.

Comment by selfslayer

i got one of these as greed in strathholm and now idk what 2 do with it. help?

Comment by BlackBolt

Read above. It's useless.

Comment by Shaboopy

these items were used for lv 60 epics back in vanilla

also appears to have been for a libram

Comment by jrch5618

I wish they'd put a sell price on these. I was leveling my warrior and it's a shame to just throw it away without getting anything for it.

Comment by demonsneeze

I agree, they should be kept in game for the sense of nostalgia, but their quality should be reduced to gray vendor trash like the Dark Iron Scraps or Core of Elements.

They could even make them sell for quite a sum, say 20g maybe, since only a few drop per run.

Seeing as I can run Stratholme in under 7 minutes for the Baron's mount and 3-5 of these drop per run, I'd be rich if they did that...

Comment by alysher

according to the ptr site for wowhead the next patch(4.3.0) this particular item will go to grey quality....altho there is still no sell price, ie, vendor trash you cant sell....any one been on ptr realm that can verify this data?

Comment by alysher

according to the ptr site for wowhead, as of the next patch(4.3.0) this particular item will go to grey quality....altho there is still no sell price listed, i have been on the PTR my self and can report that they do sell for about 18 silver a piece

Comment by Cefarius

In 3.3.5. this item is used to increase rep with Shen'dralar.The quest requiers 2 large brilliant shards,1 black diamond that drops in DM and 1 Libram that drops in DM.The faction is found in DM(west) and each quest gives reputation.The quest is repeatable till 1000/1000 exalted.The Shen'dralar are part of the achievement that gives "the Insane" title.

Comment by Hairband

I just deleted 13 of these I had been saving from BC on up to 4.0 when the items were deemed useless by Blizz. I think they were for Argent Dawn rep. There were a bunch of cool things at their rep vendors you could buy, all purchased by things that were turned grey in the Cata including the Bone Fragments and some other items. Makes no sense they were left in game except for greybeards to wax eloquent about the old days back in Vanilla.
